are all the amp inputs the same? i'm not opposed to Y splits but the wrong combination of loads/ input terminations can have consequences....i guess it's part of the learning process...discovering why isolated/buffered feeds are important when attempting to daisy chain a signal source.

Nearly every signal source is at least 1/10 of the impedance of nearly every load. And often the ratio is even greater, like 1/100.

Daisy-chaining is essentially a huge Y cord.

There is a point to buffered and isolated outputs, particularly in some automotive applications, or others where long cable runs are involved, or there are significant differences in ground potential (where you'll need a whole other kind of isolation). Usually not required though. Y cords work fine. The "wrong combination of loads" would be something like a dead short (takes out the signal to all destinations at once), or something with 1000' of cable in between. Or something else that's just plain built broken.

Isolation is much more important in preventing disease spread.
